"Rozie has a rare ability to design big-picture change strategies that honor where each person is starting from—bridging blind spots, biases, and differing experiences without losing sight of the mission. She translates complex and sensitive topics into frameworks and practices that are both accessible and actionable, helping teams move through discomfort toward alignment and trust. Her work doesn’t just improve conversations—it creates the conditions for lasting belonging and meaningful change." — EH, cohort member
Feeling the rift—and ready to do something about it?
Maybe you’ve felt the distance growing between you and Black or other women of color in your life. Maybe you want to be part of healing and solidarity but don’t know where to begin.
Our times are fractured—democracy is teetering, DEI is under attack, and history itself is being erased. Many Black women are done with performative allyship. Words aren’t enough; action is what matters now.
Real change starts with honest acknowledgment: privilege, power, and white norms shape our systems—and our silence sustains them.
If you’re ready to learn, reflect, and lead with sincerity, this is your invitation. Your courage to engage can shift the mindsets that women of color alone cannot.
Let’s build a new way forward, together. Are you ready?

Sick of the separation but no longer willing to do all the labor?
To My Black Sisters:
You’ve (we've) held so much for so long—being the explainer, the forgiver, the bridge. It’s exhausting. You deserve peace, protection, and partnership rooted in truth, not labor.
This curriculum offers a reset. Frameworks and practices to help you stay grounded, show up strong, and lead without carrying the whole load. Because when we detach completely, the divisions win—and so do the systems designed to keep us apart.
To Non-Black Women of Color:
Our journeys overlap—through courage, struggle, and brilliance. Yet we’ve also faced internal divides: colorism, classism, xenophobia. The path forward? Mutual celebration and shared purpose.

Welcome to
"Unengaged to Ally, Advocate to "Sister"
A six-module self-paced course for women building authentic solidarity and trust across race, in our "post-DEI" era.
Created by Nautilus Award-winning author Rozella Kennedy, and based on the SAIN et SAUF™ Method, trusted by hundreds of leaders in over 10 countries.
This course is for women from white or white-adjacent backgrounds who want to build genuine trust and collaborate across difference, as well as for Women of Color looking for tools and clarity to navigate and lead conversations with aspiring allies.
It is entirely self-paced, with video lessons, reflection prompts, and downloadable resources you can revisit anytime.
This is a space for honest reflection and brave learning, designed as a direct response to the times we live in.
In an era defined by deep political polarization, resurgent white nationalism, "diversity fatigue," chosen re-segregation, and intensified cultural fracturing—especially across lines of race, identity, and belonging—many of us are seeking a place to pause, reflect, and build something better.
This political era, with its vile reassertion of old divisions and anxieties, has forced many into discomfort, uncertainty, despair, or even paralysis. But it has also created a new and urgent call: to step forward with clarity, integrity, and a real commitment to solidarity and change.
The curriculum is offered in two parts, with six modules each, offering opportunities for self-reflection, new vocabulary, honest dialogue, deep exploration, fun, and practical strategies for meaningful change.
Together, we’ll challenge the fears and misunderstandings that hold us back, discover the motivations that move us forward, learn key concepts and tactics that break down barriers and bias, and develop tools for starting authentic, transformative conversations—so we can build stronger solidarity and connection for collective action.
Whether you’re new to this work or have been on this path for a while, you’ll find clarity, support, and challenge here. Each section offers journaling prompts, reflective exercises, community discussion topics, invitations to deeper dives, and actionable strategies so you can build deeper trust, skill, and accountability—whether for your own growth, or to become a more effective guide for others.
